Under the new system you should be able to tell your machine to do the washing when the sun comes out, to take advantage of solar power
Why US trade deal could hinge on Britons eating chlorinated chickens Cabinet split over whether to allow the import of controversial “chlorine washed” chicken could cause a major stumbling block in Liam Fox’s trade talks with the US today.Dr Fox wants to allow the import of poultry treated with a chlorine wash process, which is currently banned under EU rules.It is more than one-fifth cheaper than British chicken, and has been deemed safe by the European Food Safety Authority, despite the EU ban.The American Farming Association has been clear that any free trade deal must include agriculture, and that chlorine-washed chicken, hormone-fed beef and genetically modified crops must be approved for export to the UK.

More than 2,500 products subject to shrinkflation, says ONSAs many as 2,529 products have shrunk in size over the past five years, but are being sold for the same price, official figures show.The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said it was not just chocolate bars that have been subject to so-called "shrinkflation".It said toilet rolls, coffee and fruit juice were also being sold in smaller packet sizes.At the same time 614 products had got larger between 2012 and 2017.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...jellyfish floating around in the sea around Kef, notably Skala. A lot found off Parga, opposite Levkas, a little earlier in the season. Fishermen yesterday caught a 3 metre, 180 kg shark off the Strofades isles, south of Zakynthos. A number of rays have been seen off Alexandropoulis, northern Greece, recently, including one described as "enormous". And a 1.5 metre, 5 kg squid was recently caught by a spear-fisherman near Argolis, t'other side of Peloponnese. Probably a cunning plan to increase trade around pool bars

Greeks Import 66% of the Fish They ConsumeAn impressive 66% of the fish consumed in Greece are imported, a WWF study says, the figure coming as a surprise for a country surrounded by water....most of the fish sold on the Mediterranean markets are imported and mainly from developing countries, while it is noted that for every kilogram of fish caught or farmed in the Mediterranean EU countries, almost two kg are imported from other countries.
